I received an inquiry from a lady who was curious to know if she would marry and have a family. Here is the throw:




So, the short answer is “yes”
. The Key is my “yes” card. Now, we’ll dig a little deeper.
The card which reflects the key would be the lilies. The lily often represents family matters, or a family man. Either way you play it, it works very nicely. If we move inward, we have the letter – messages in writing. I also would wonder if the letter was an offer in this case – if we view marriage for what it is on a very base level, it is a contract – a legal arrangement if you will. While this is not very romantic (my apologies, Ms. C) it still is confirmation to me that this wish will be realized. The letter comes to the lady – if you observe the imagery, right side of the envelope is elevated and looks easier for her to lift than the opposite and lowered side. The offer is made to her. The paths follow – Ms. C. has a choice – one road leads to this offer and the other to her. It’s possible that there is another relationship that Ms. C is more inclined towards, but this is the fellow who will propose first. She may need to solve some dilemma with the other fellow (Keys also open things – perhaps Ms. C is thinking about the correct one to open the second fellow’s heart to commitment?). I would set timing for the first offer in the winter months (lily again) perhaps the month of February. Were she to accept, I like that this fellow is the Lily – to me this would make him a good family man.
Thank you to Ms. C for her question -
Best of everything!

Hi LaContessa,
I like how you use the imagery in the cards to add meaning to your interpretation of this spread.
I wondered if you find that it works consistently for you. For example, when Letter falls to the right of the Lady in a reading (with the lower side of the letter facing her), do you read that as the lady is the one sending the message and/or making the offer?
Thanks!

Hi Kaph,
Yes, I would have read it to be the opposite if the lady were to the right of the letter. When I read these cards I was looking at the lily as a lover (who happens to be a potentially good family man), thus he is the party sending or making the offer – the letter comes from him and goes to her.
Thanks so much for your question and for dropping by!
Best!

Thank you, Contessa!
I’ve been wrestling with a way to easily determine who initiates the action with a card such as the Letter, and your process is exactly what I was looking for. I plan to incorporate this idea into my own readings to see how it works for me.
Thanks again,
